Hello there, I haven't been updating my blog that often... lol... anyway... I just finished watching the whole series of The Melancholy of Haruni Suzumiya or Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu as it is known in Japanese. Its a rather short anime series that I was introduced to while I was at the NY Anime Fest. Anyway, the story is about this girl and basically, everything revolves around this girl. But she just isn't aware of it. Basically, she's very eccentric. She's apparently not interested in normal humans and wants to have fun with aliens, time travelers and espers. Which actually came true.. Just that she doesn't know that the 3 out of 4 other members in her SOS Brigade are an alien, a time traveler and an esper. 

Anyway, work has been alright for me... just been getting pretty tired lately and I don't think I'm performing up to optimum standards -in my opinion. 

School has been.... bothersome... Only class I enjoy is Drawing 1 and Electronic Imaging and Advertising Design and Layout... But the latter one is on a Thursday and I hate Thursdays cause I'm in school for 9 hours straight: 2 hours for the first class, 4 hours for the 2nd and 3 hours for the third class. 

I've made 2 new friends in my drawing 1 class the week I went to the Anime fest. Luis and Christine. Luis is a year younger than I am. A freshman in QCC and actually doing alright in his drawings. Definately improving.  

Christine is pretty interesting as well. My first Greek friend and an interesting personality. Plus she's fun to draw. A little bit challenging at times since I'm more used to drawing asian people. Or more particularly, asian girls.

Some of my drawings at my Starbucks store. Medium used are chalk markers. Kinda frustrating to use.. especially when I'm nearly always running out of ink.
